Tiny Complaints

I’m trying to use wingardium leviosa on my Christmas decorations and it seems like maybe my pronunciation is a little off this year.

The friend I’m supposed to be meeting has been held up by a work emergency, and maybe is cancelling. And I somehow ordered $5 tea instead of $2 tea. In it’s defense, this $5 tea latte tastes like a magical creamy dessert. And I wouldn’t complain if friend could still come

Ears hurt, throat hurts, head hurts, chest hurts can’t get air, overal achy, stuck in hotel room another night and have to go chair a panel tomorrow. Insult to injury: can’t use voice to text because Siri doesn’t recognize my pitiful croaking.

The glass on the inside of my oven cracked because I dripped water on it because I didn’t dry my hands because I have been buying too many paper towels. Now I get to spend $75 on a piece of glass. Sigh

I have been buying rice for my work lunches at the bulk place near us. I decided I didn’t want to walk the extra km (it is 500 m overshoot from the grocery store) every couple of weeks in the winter, so I bought a big bag of rice at the grocery store.

It is not as good as the rice at my bulk place. The texture is much too smooth, there is no flavour. And I have 8 (kg? lbs? a lot) to use up.

(Note to self - you do not like Sher brand ‘everyday’ basmati rice)

I blend types of rice to get what I want. I like a 50: 50 blend of brown and white basmati. Could you buy good rice and mix the two together so the bad rice is less offensive?

Percy didn’t eat breakfast or dry food today. Or leap on his dinner. He is instead demonstrating that the rearranged plants are now his bffs and only source of food. I feel like this definitely results in vomit, and there is no time for vomit until Sunday

While I was out running errands, I spent a couple of hours wracking my brain as to why I had put “sparkle” on my shopping list. I finally gave up and went home…where I looked at the holes in my wall that need patching.

Thanks, Autocorrect. I still need spackle.

In a parallel universe where Lisa Frank won the war, sparkle is spackle.

My kid has a new to him red and black plaid jacket but instead of wearing his shoes that look like workman’s boots he wanted to wear his Batman crocs. Batman’s cool and all but he was thisclose to looking like a lumberjack and I was going to tell him to tell everyone he saw today “I’m a lumberjack and that’s okay”. Opportunities like this is why I became a parent, dammit.

Growing up in BC, people were a little too excited to hear our province named in a song. The Lumberjack Song was played at the start of the lumberjack games, in lieu of the national anthem.

It probably still is.

I just found an arm hair that’s an inch longer than all the others. On the one hand, it’s quite cool but also what the heck, body?

I’ve got one of those, too!
You should name it. Henry, maybe? Eloise?
